Hardware Monitor applet 0.6 released

 ---------------------------------
 = time to clean up the todo list.


What's new:

  - rewritten lm-sensors support so that it is possible to choose what
    temperature to monitor

  - support for monitoring fan speeds (through lm-sensors)

  - a new column view that is a lot more clearer than the curve view
    (but not good for multiple active devices)

  - rearranged UI for choosing a device

  - new adapting estimation technique for guessing the maximum for
    devices that don't supply one (like load average and network
    devices)

  - a few bugfixes

  - a Belarusian translation


Features:

  - monitor CPU/memory/swap/disk usage, load average, Ethernet/modem
    throughput, internal temperatures, internal fan speeds

  - multiple views that all support multiple monitors:

     o  a curve view with smooth lines
     o  a bar view with wacky horizontal bars
     o  a column view with ultra-clear vertical blocks
     o  a text view for those who want extreme precision
     o  a flame view to impress your friends

  - a modular design for future enhancements

  - well-behaved GNOME panel applet (no floating gkrellm windows)


Version 0.6 can be downloaded from here:

  http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/hardware-monitor/

Screenshots are also available from the above page. The applet
requires Gnome 2.2 and the gtkmm and gnomemm-all libraries from
www.gtkmm.org.

Note that you need to install libsensors and setup lm-sensors with
your kernel if you want to monitor temperatures and fan speeds.
